Julia still at the airport

Couldn't do a picture of me...I'm looking pretty tired. Julia is fresh as ever!!! hoping we get to xian tonight... Doesn't look good...

Long lay over

Hi, this is Julia. We are stuck in San Francisco, for what we thought was going to be a very, very brief lay over, that turned out to be 5 hour lay over or more. Don't worry, the flight attendants said that they thought that the flight wouldn't be canceled, so we are all crossing our fingers..... wish us good luck!!!

Hana is on the bus

Starting our trip old style - riding the 'dog to Chicago. Lots of rain, hopefully not delays - small margin for error on this leg

the good news...our visas are in..! We are ready, more or less, to go. I mean we still have to pack but we're on our way soon enough!

Planning?

So, we leave in one week. We are excited.. Not packed at all and no visa yet!

Asia 2012

Playing around with new tech that we will use to document this trip. iPad and a new and improved Blogger. So much technology and tools to capture the spirit, but does it really enhance the experience? I'm a skeptic, but we shall see as we explore China once again and venture into new territory, the exotic islands of Indonesia. Should be amazing.
